So how much do you guys think is being spent on buying comments on News(SMH, Guardian) articles at the moment? It seems as though any political article will have plenty of people rightly calling out this LNP bullshit while a single user is replying to almost all of them either blaming Immigration or the Judiciary. These commenters really keep towing the line of whatever dogwhistle point Dutton etc fire off the week before.

Whilst I understand how hosed the media is in this country what I don't understand is how any community manager look at the same people and doesn't ban them for being a shill. Like how do you look at a comment thread where 60 people post their "This country's hosed" comments and 1 person replies to them all, staying right on LNP message, as not on the the nose?

quote:

Ricky Muir, the knockabout former Victorian senator, is on the brink of a political comeback with a tilt at State Parliament at the November election.

The ABC understands the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party (SFFP) are set to announce Mr Muir as a party candidate for the November 24 election, most likely in marginal Morwell which is not far from his Gippsland home, in the coming weeks.

Ret General and LNP Senator in unrepentant racist shock:

http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/breakfast/molan-refuses-to-apologise-for-sharing-britain-first-videos/9399470

quote:

Molan refuses to apologise for sharing video from UK far-right group Britain First Tuesday 6 February 2018 8:06AM (view full episode)

Parliament's newest Senator is already making waves and he was only sworn in less than 24 hours ago. Jim Molan, a retired Major General and now a Liberal Senator, is making no apologies for posting anti-Muslim videos on social media, which Labor has branded "racist". A conservative hardliner Jim Molan is also muscling up for what could be another bruising battle over Liberal Party reform at this weekend's make-or-break meeting of the New South Wales State Council.

My favourite part is the one where he disputes that one of the videos is a proven fake. The only rational reform for the LNP would be Jonestown style.

IMO let them eat themself. 2016 already proved we're not going to follow the US down the shitter, and that dog whistles, not overt racism and bigotry are how to get the swing voters in your camp.

Let the Libs keep scrambling to win the votes of people who're already voting for them (either primary or via 1st preferences from PHON/AC); they're alienating moderate conservatives, little l liberals and uncommitted swing voters as they go, and if they keep it up, I think they will ultimately wipe out the meagre 2PP gains Turnbull has managed to claw back over the past 6 months.

ABC plans to send entire book collection to Samoa to save money
Move to make space for IT division comes as board meets to discuss opposition to dismantling of sound and reference libraries

The ABC is planning to break up its historic music and reference libraries and making 10 librarians redundant to free up floor space and save on wages.
A last-ditch attempt to prevent the dismantling of the ABC’s sound and reference libraries will be made at a board meeting on Thursday as it emerged that management is planning to send its entire book collection to Samoa.

can't the NLA or National Archives take them? (I'm sure those orgs haven't had their funding gutted!) Storing magnetic, vinyl, and paper media in a tropical island climate is a stupid decision.

We have a National Film & Sound Archive for precisely this reason. I understand ABC wants to sell for profit their collections, and NFSA just doesn't have the budget (or probably even space) to do that.

Today is history. Today will be remembered. Years from now the young will ask with wonder about this day. Today is history and you are part of it. Eighty years ago when elsewhere they were footing the blame for the Yellow Peril, John Curtin the Great – so called – told the lefties they could have a broadcasting medium. They came. They trundled their belongings into the radio stations. They started a network. They went into television. They talked about business, science, education, the arts. They started with nothing. Nothing. And they flourished. For eight decades there has been an Australian public broadcaster. Think about that. By this evening those eight decades are a rumour. They never happened. Today is history.

If they can't force their cultural BS on us they can destroy our access to our own culture. So it is with all tyrants.

It's tough. I long for the cold embrace of oblivion myself. Just remember there are people who will miss you and suffer if you die. I've used Lifeline chat in the past to bail myself out and I think you can get six pretty cheap shrink appointments a year if your despair is ongoing.
